Jupiter Stares Back at NASA
木星“緊盯”美國航空航天局
NASA has released an eerie photograph of Jupiter, the biggest planet in our solar system, staring back at the Hubble telescope. The photograph was taken in April, 2014 as Hubble observed Jupiter’s massive storm, also known as the Great Red Spot. When the shadow of Ganymede, the largest moon in our solar system, passed over Jupiter’s storm, it looked just like a pupil inside a giant eye. NASA likened the image of Jupiter to an enormous Cyclops. Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is a massive storm that was discovered by humans in the 1600s. NASA has had its eye more closely on the spot in recent years because studies have shown that the storm is slowly shrinking.
美國國家航空和宇宙航行局公布了瘆人的木星照片,這顆太陽系中最大的行星正在“緊盯”著哈勃望遠鏡。2014年4月,哈勃望遠鏡監測到了發生在木星上的風暴,也叫作“大紅斑”。木衛三是太陽系中繞木行星中最大的一顆,當木衛三陰影掠過木星風暴時,形成了像眼睛瞳孔一樣的畫面。NASA將這張木星圖像與獨眼巨人作比較。木星風暴中的“大紅斑”是人類在17世紀發現的。近幾年,NASA還將重點放在了這些“大紅斑”上,有研究表明風暴規模正在不斷縮減。
